From President to Senate.

Nearly every afternoon between 2
and 3 o'clock Il good-looking pair of
clipped bays may be seen going
down the avenue at a lively rate
drawing comfortable-looking car
riage containing a single occupant,
holding tight one or more mammoth
envelopes. The destination is the
Capitol, and the starting point was
the front portico of the White House
the occupant is Mr.. 0. i. Pruden,
sometimes called Sergeant" Pruden
because of his antipathy to the title
of major. He is the assistant secre-
tary to the President, a position he
has held since General Grant became
president. He is on his way to the
Capitol with message from the
President in writing" The horses
and carriage in question form the
office turnout, belonging to the
White House.
The horses are well matched, and
while not flyers in the professional
meaning of the term are good
enough travellers to make the trip
from the White House to the Capt.
toll in a very few minutes. Anyone
who is ON the avenue often mt this
time of day can not have failed to
notice this turnout and become ac-
customed to seeing it on account of
the regularity of its appearance.
The team does not 20 dashing up
the avenue like fire-engine, but as
little time as possible is lost in
order that the Senate may not adj
joum between the time of leaving
the White House and reaching the
Capitol. The most unfrequented
side Of the street is chosen in order
to make good time. The horses are
generally driven down the West
side Of Fifteenth Street and along
the South side of the avenue. The
object of the GRAND is generally to
convey nominations made by the
President to the Senate, although
occasionally there is tersely writ
ten veto contained in the big Off
cial envelope.
